While it is inevitable that the secrecy, the downright deceit and the huge buildup from small beginnings in Viet Nam are bitterly remembered, the comparison between Angola and Viet Nam is alarmist and simplistic. For one thing, or so the Administration argues, the levels of aid differ enormously. In 1954, the year the French pulled out of Indochina, for example, the Eisenhower Administration asked Congress for $500 million to aid the region's anti-Communist fighting forces.

Jeanne Wasserman and the staff of the Fogg set up this exhibit to explore these changes; a very well-trained...
